The name of the book is The Perfect Storm. lol
i've heard it is really good. my dad and sister both loved it. i told myself i would read it, but i haven't gotten a chance to yet. hopefully when school starts again i'll get a chance.

I read the book before the movie came out. It is very hard to stay interested with the book because it has sooooo much info on commercial fishing and how everything works, etc. But, if you can get through that part, the rest is very good. And you'll be so much smarter on the topic of sword fishing! (yeah right)
